Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Nately Scures
Water can travel under a flat roof membrane before it shows inside. That makes leaks hard to trace by eye. ELD tests the waterproofing directly and locates the breach. It’s testing only and leave the repair to your roofer. On suitable roofs, it replaces guesswork with a located breach. The results then follow in a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at gaps at membrane joints and damp inside with no sign on the roof, across green roofs, commercial flat roofs and roof terraces and balconies.
In a small place like Nately Scures, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which frequently last around 15–20 years, normally show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Flat roofs in Nately Scures
Historic houses such as The Vyne, about 4.9 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Nately Scures goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. Nicholas, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. Anyone responsible for a site like Robert May's School will know that a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If you let a flat or house near Hook station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

How it works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect as long as needed for the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we’ll explain when we quote. In a hamlet or village like Nately Scures, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm which roof areas are included.
- The surface is prepared for the chosen method.
- We work across the roof with the test equipment.
- We mark the breach locations in our records.
- You receive the results to pass to your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Booking a survey

Why get it checked now?
Not every leak is in the membrane. Testing shows whether the membrane is breached so attention can go to the right place. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Nately Scures, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Common questions in Nately Scures
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nately Scures?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Nately Scures within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Honest limits
It’s useful to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- Parts of the roof covered by fixed equipment
- Build-ups without a suitable layer below
- Water entering through details rather than the membrane
